Chapter 10 Over and Over
I came to my senses then, as did he, and we quickly shoved each other off the other and stood up, looking away, then drawing our eyes back to each other.
"Who the hell is this?" Damon demanded clearly upset.
"I'm sorry Damon, I should explain. This is Charles, he's a Prince in the Kitsune world. I was one of his servants in another life. We fell in love, we were going to elope before I died of a mysterious illness. How are you?" I turn to the beautiful Kitsune standing before me. Seeing him through these eyes, eyes that have found love in another life, but remembering the love we shared, well, it's a little more than completely confusing.
"I've survived. I met a really nice girl, a Duchess from a land far away. Her name is Kasandra, and we're very happy together. We named our first born daughter after you." He said, smiling kindly at me. So he was over me, er, Anna, it wasn't true love like we suspected all those years ago. Good, I'm glad.
I can't help but smile at him, and after exchanging some more kind words back and forth we shake hands and head out on our separate ways.
What we didn't notice, to caught up in everything that happened as we walked away was that another Kitsune with a much darker aura was watching and listening to everything, as he wiped the dirt off his nice clothes from being knocked down by me in my run to Charles. This was a Kitsune you didn't want to mess with, this was a guy who held a grudge, this was a guy who lusted for the blood of his enemies. And I was an enemy of the worst kind.
We got back in the critter and continued on our way until it turned dark and we decided to get a crappy room to sleep in for the night. Damon was being incredibly quiet, he hadn't said a word since the entire Charles ordeal. He was obviously not okay.
"Damon," I tried, reaching my hand out to touch his shoulder.
He just shrugged me off, tried to walk away.
"Stop! Damnit Damon look at me!" I said, turning him around, making him face me. His face was a mask, of course it was. Then, something sparked in his eyes, and he drew me to him and kissed me, held me, caressed me.
"I love you." He whispered before kissing me again.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked quietly, staring into his eyes.
"I love you. I don't want to love anyone, it only ends in heartbreak. I can't risk loving another girl and having her kill me, or choose my brother over me, or leave me like I'm nothing. I can't do love again…" He said, letting me go, heading for the door.
"Don't runaway from this. You runaway from everything, Damon, don't runaway from me. Yes, I've had a long history, I'm an old soul, and eventually I'm going to remember everything, or maybe I won't, but I will never have another life again, I'll be here forever, for all of eternity I will be here for you. Don't runaway from all of this." I said, standing there, holding my ground.
"Nothing's forever." Damon said, turning away and walking out the door.
I sunk to the floor, hugging my knees to my chest and resting my head on top of them. My hair fell like a curtain, making me feel more secure. It'd grown longer since my transformation from human to vampire. It's so weird, I don't even remember how we got to this point. It all started the night my father tried to kill me, when the man in black came in and drank his blood until there was nothing left. He'd advanced towards me and I'd blacked out, only to awake in a bed in the boarding house nobody visited, in what I now know to be Damon's bed. I wonder what happened from the point I blacked out to the point of me awakening. I'd run out, scared for my life, and the only thing to follow me was that lonely, heart-wrenching plea Damon sent after me.
Why did he choose me, out of every other girl in the world, let alone Fells Church. I wasn't special, we don't exactly have all that much in common… I begin to second-guess the "love" we feel for each other. Is it just both of us tired of being alone, searching for sympathy, empathy, and understanding? Someone to just be there for each other? I don't know…
I fell asleep with thoughts of everything swirling through my brain like snow in a blizzard.
I awoke to the slamming of the door. I shot up, looking toward the door. Their Damon stood, soaked to the bone, but holding something in a little bag.
"You found it?" I ask quietly, eyeing the bag in his hand.
"Yes, we can leave now." Damon said, opening the door and walking out again. I sigh, run a hand through my hair before running after him and catching up quickly. I decided it was best not to say anything, or give him any indication that I was upset, that something was wrong, and just let him be. No need to worry him when he's already pissed off at me.
I walked a few feet behind him, giving him room. He's still upset by whatever was bothering him last night. Ugh.
We walked through the Gates to the Earth Plane and were back in the front yard of the Boarding House. We were met with lots of shouting and yelling and scolding that got us, in a sense, grounded and confined to Damon's room. They didn't even appreciate the danger we'd put ourselves in to get what they needed. We didn't even get a thank you.
Damon still wouldn't talk to me, so I just sat on the bed, swinging my legs back and forth, staring at the ceiling and humming. I pulled out my laptop and started a new blog.
The Life of a Vampire.
As a vampire, I expected everything to be different. I expected to have more confidence in myself, look a million times sexier without even trying, and be this super amazing, super perfect creature. But, as it turns out, being a vampire is a lot like being human. Besides the fact that I now thirst for human blood and all my senses are heightened, and I can turn my feelings off if I really wanted too, nothing's really changed. I still think the same, act the same, talk the same, walk the same… There's really nothing different.
And my social life? It's almost exactly as it was BEFORE all of this. I still have boy drama, I still have no friends, and I'm grounded. The only difference is I have an open pass to other realms and get to know other creatures, but that's not really all that big of a difference.
Not that I'm complaining, I'm sooo glad I did this. I feel stronger, I can run faster, see perfectly in the dark… And listening to people's thoughts… WIN!

Once I'd completed my blog about how unawesome my vampire life was, I decided that, as Damon was brooding in the corner drinking his whiskey or whatever the fuck he drinks, I'd put on my favorite pajamas and make a nest in that huge bed of his and sleep the day away. Or…night? I don't even know, the windows in his room are blacked out like mine.
I honestly can say that nothing is turning out like I had hoped it would. Hopefully Damon will climb into bed with me and sleep his troubles away. If he doesn't I may just have to smack some sense into him; this is getting ridiculous.
~*~ Alright, so it wasn't a DAY it was more like 3 FUCKING MONTHS. Sorry. . I fail as an authoress, and I apologize for this.
